hmm, why i choose to do track racing.
many things seem to come to mind

1. The pure adrenaline rush of moving at 60+ km/h inches away from 3 other people
2. The amazement of averaging 50+km/h for a scratch race
3. The contact of shoulders, knee and heads when pushin out when you are boxed in or when someone trys to steal your wheel.

And the obvious reason here is that most road bunches don't like to take teenagers on their long distance training rides for liability reasons. And most parents would also likely to baulk at the idea of their kids riding 80-100km on open roads. So the track is the obvious "safe" enclosure for the juniors until they get their wings.

It's easier than the road, Ha Ha! Wink, Wink.I like the speed, and the physics, there nothingwilder than racing in a bunch, coming up to asprint on a 166m Track, you feel like your upsidedown, and you loose track of where you are onthe track... surreal.CheersBrentonO (1000m Sprint)

Lone Rider- I rode on the long, dark road... before I danced under the lights.
